These are the programming languages Amazon uses
Welcome back! Recently, i’ve been making a ton of articles talking about the programming languages that massive companies use such as Facebook, Google and Microsoft, now let’s talk about what programming languages Amazon uses!
Now, there is a Wikipedia page that actually shows you what languages the most popular websites use, unfortunately, Amazon isn’t on that list. To circumvent this issue I just went on Amazon’s career website, looked at their technical positions and found all of the programming languages the jobs required:
For the majority of job postings I saw, here’s what those languages were: Python, Java, Javascript, HTML, CSS, React, Angular, R and SQL. On top of the programming languages, I noticed alot of softwares were required as well: AWS (Redshift), Excel and Tableau are a few. Let’s go ahead and hit on all of the languages in detail!
Python
This is one of the most popular languages right now, this language can be used for software engineering or data science. First off, I saw this language as a requirement in a ton of different positions from Amazon, so if you plan on applying at Amazon, learning Python will allow you to apply to a ton of jobs. On top of this, Python isn’t extremely hard to learn, it’s still hard to become an expert (just like any other language) but it’s still a very solid language to know.
Java
Java is a very popular language used in tons of companies across the world, Amazon is one of those companies. This language is a object oriented language with a large community behind it, so if you plan on learning this language, you will have a large community to help you.
